He thought it necessary to declare now that he had in his possession documents relating to the private and publia character of that Gentleman, and that he should make use of them in case he considerect"himself called upon to do so.-.-(Cheers and hisses, and cries of " Hunt for ever !").—He then defended hil conduct in Parliament. He had not spoken, on presenting the petition from Chard against the slave trade, because there were such multitudes of petitions daily presented on the subject, that the House would not listen to speeches on the subject.—(Cries of " true, true," and cheers.)—As to Mr. Denman's motion respect ing female slaves, he- had not voted at all; but'if he had been in the House at the tithe the.propositionAvai made, -he should have voted against it, as calculated to excite jealousy, .add prevent the operation of the benevolent measures adopted by Parliament.— (Cheers.) • - Sir T. Lerusitime--MY worthy friend has alluded to a weapon which he has in store, With Which to chastise this individual. Mr. Hun (to Sir Thornite)—Be, ba, be, boo. (Laughter and hisses.) Sir T.

Sir T. Lermntinoe—Well, Sir. Mr. littler (pointing at him with his finger)--Bow, wow, wow. (Roars of laughter, and great tumult.) Sir T. LITHIMIDGE—if 'any other person In this Court had said one word of what this extraordinary animal has uttered, I would at once have taken notice of it. Mr. Hurer—l only said Bow, wow, wow, Sir 'Thomas. Sir T. Lersinetnoa—When this animal has been attacked with his own weapons he has flourished ; when mercy lies been shown him, he has a cted with the basest ingratitude. It is im possible to deal with him, therefore, as, with other men. It was my object to cave great labour and inconvenience, but as he is determined to cause as muck trouble us possible, I hope you will, Gentlemen, redouble your exertions in my favour. _(Cheers and hisses.) Mr. Hust----Nou say I am an extraordinary animal. I'll prove it to you before I stop ; that hair of your's shall stand on eml, " like quills upon the fretful porcupine." They call you the . animal railed the porcupine; Fit make you look like one.—(Uproar and laughter, amidst which the Sheriff adjourned the Hall.) - WESTMORELAND.—APPL7:BY—TvZSDAT. The first real synytoms of electioneering bustle manifested themselves here to-defy. This little village, which only yesterday evening was as tranquil as any insignificant place of the same vise in the empire, is now alive with all the excitement arising from the anticipation of an obstinately contested ele,:tion. Banners are floating, bands playing, the shout of exultation is raised, and the uproar of ruff. in jollity disturbs the peaceful echo. In vain the laughing sky invites to serenity--the lesson of the passive rill which meanders through its bosom is lost. Uscord has flung clown her apple, and even to the meanest member cf social life, the pre judices and passions of all are enlisted in the eventful struggle which is about to take place upon this arena. The approaching contest for this County kapires an interest for more reasons than one. Appleby is a niemter of a family which has ever been, and ever will be deer to the lovers of the Pictu resque. Associated with these latitudes are the images of rippling brooks, glassy lakes, hanging woods, and mountain dells. The odour of poetry is every where diffused, and the genius of I omance owns perched upon the pinnacle of , thou , craggy heights. Calm contemplation and tranquil enjoyment beat harmonise with such scenes, and it jars upon our feelings to see the leafy copse agi tated by the rough whirlwind of human ambition, or the even bosom of the lake broken by the hot breath of interested conten tion. Appleby itself is not unworthy its neighbourhood; situated in a delightful vale, of which the commanding eminence on which its castle stands, on one side bounds the horizon, it give, anima tion to a coup d'eeil which embodies all the graces of highly culti vated scenery with the bolder features of the projecting eminences in the distance. Upon first looking down open it one would rather expect to be sainted by, the blithsome song of some village bridal procession, gaily moving on to the altar, than by the noisy clamour of political combatants. Yet within the bosoM of this peaceful retreat will be shortly enacted a drama to which the eyes of the empire may be turned. At en early hour in The day, a band of music marched into town, preceded by yellow flags and bellow* Lord Lowther's co lour* and took up their head-quarters at the King's Head Inn. They were followed by a group of freeholders, wearing yellow cockinies and hatbands. Occasionally, during the day, this body paraded the town, and many a cheer did they give in defiance to their opponents' who answered them not from the vasty deep. The paucity of fl ue supporters was very remarkable ; there was scarcely a 114411 to he seen sporting that colour. Lord Lowther ittrta in town, and ictively occupied in stimulating the seal of his "Maas. He is said repeatedly to have expressed his wish that svery thing should he done with the greatest vial. K ou . r o f . Isis Learned Counsel a r e do w n here, Messrs. Harrison, . tug s Counsel, Pelt, Baincock,, and Jeffcott. Mr. Bronghain was yesterday canvassing at Kirby - Stephe n , and , we un derst and, d derstand , with considerabl4 sm'cirs. In addition to the fifty freehol ders who have withdr&wn their support 'from him because of his Catholic predilections, are twenty-nine more, who have pub licly declared that to be the grounds for their secession. Carpenters were bnsity engaged in erecting booths for the ncon can- didates and electors in the Ala t ket-place, which appear i veniently placed with respect to the sun, and considerably too small. In the meantime, every hiding-place for, one's bead in the town is put into requisition. Booths and tents have been !sleeted along the road-side for the freeholders and poet-boys ; and, one place, were to be seen'same hundreds of freeholders dining psi a public table. Those who leave beds to let do not know what to ; ark for them, and we have heard of fifteen and twenty shillings helot offered for sorry accommodations enough. in fact, this is their ha:Neat-time, anti they seem determined to mgke the most of it. Mr. Brougham has not been in town to-day. Various spe culations are afloat is to the probable degree of obstinacy with which the county will be contested, and the time to which it will extend. The most reasonable conjecture of those best informed is, that it m a y not b e over till t h e b eg i nn i ng o f July. It seems to be understood tltst both parties will hold out to the last extremity, and, indeed, they are enlemnly pledged to do so. The day of no !lunation is fixed for Thursday. A second band has just come in, and ranged themselves under the colours. It is doubtful, how ever, whether all these musical preparations will at all enhance the harmony of this place.

They were dressed in full court dresses, and were preceded and followed by a great number of orange banners, bearing the inscriptions—J! Milton and Marshall," " Saddleworth Freeholders," " No Church Popery," "Marshall and Manufac turee," " tree Trade and Cheap Bread," " Economy," " Reform," " Bill of Rights,' " Milton and Magna Charts," " Liberty of Conscience," &c. Several bands of music, and an immense con course of;partisans, accompanied the yellow candidates. *Montague Wilson, Esq. and the Hon. William Duncombe, ar rived shortly after. Their apnea= was much more splendid than that of their opponents ; and they were preceded by three trumpeters, in blue silk jackets, together with a great many splen- I did banners of blue silk, inscribed with letters of gold—" Wilson . and Duncombe for ever, hum !" " DuncombLand the Protes tant cause," " King, Constitution, and People,'" " No Popery," "Nilson and the Protestant Cause," " The Protestant Ascend-; ancy," &c., several bands of music, and a very large number of freeholders, which gave the blues the decided majority in the yard. The respective candidates were cheered with the utmost enthusiasm by their friends. At twenty minutes before eleven o'clock the county clerk (Mr. G. Bindsley, jun.), having made the usual proclimation, the Act against bribery and corruption Willi read by the county clerk. Sir F. L. Woon said, that he heartily concurred in the recom mendation of the High Sheriff to be brief, and he owed it to the good humour Which he saw in that large multitude, not to de tain them long. He concluded by recommending to them Lord 0. STRICKLAND,_ Esq. seconded the nomination of the Noble Lord. He regretted that it was not sooner known that there would be no contest, that the thousands of freeholders who were assembled, might not have been called from their distant homes, but the dame was kindled, and the enthusiasm raised ; and that flame would not be extinguished because it was the flame of liberty. --.:(Cheers.) Sir J. L. KAYE said, the decided marks of favour shown to Mr. Duncombe on the day of nomination, did not leave a doubt on his mind of the most complete success on this occasion. He begged leave to propose the lion. Wm. Duncombe, as one of their representatiVes for the county of York.—(Lond'cheere.) MARK zi AM, Esq. briefly seconded the nomination of Mr. Duncombe. H. 'Lap. Esq, Mor of Leeds, said, he had again the honour to propose to them Richard Fountayne Wilson, Esq. as a fit and proper representative. -(Loud cheera.)—Mr. Wilson had, in private life, only been anxious to find occasion of advantaging his fellow creatures.—(Cheers.) —Mr. Hall concluded with re commending Mr. Wilson as a fit and:proper object of their choice. —(Cheers.) FilLn, Esq. very briefly seconded the nomination. Sir G. COYLEY, Bart. proposed Mr. Marshall.. The worthy Baronet was interrupted throughout the whole of his speech ; so mush so, that we could scarcely hear two sentences in connection. T. WALKER, Esq. merely said he bad great pleasure in se conding the nomination of Mr. Marshall. Lord MILTON then came forward, but it was a long time be sore he could obtain a hearing ; in fact, he could not obtain the attention of the Meeting till Mr. buncombe and Mr.Wilspn ap pealed to them in his behalf, and even 'then he was listened to with great impatience, and the High Sheriff was frequently corn palled to use his influence, and to beg a hearing for " my Lord Milton." His Lordship said be stood liefore, them for the fifth time, on the most solemn occasion on which British citizen! could be called together, and once more to offer them his services as their representative in Parliament. He did not come there to excite any angry feeling; and he would appeal to his two Honourable competitors, and to the Honourable Gentleman who had now withdrawn himself from before them, :to say whether between them there had ever passed one word symptomatic of unpleasant feeling.—(Hear !)—lt might have been their respective duties to discuss the opinions which they severally entertained, but it bail ever been his maxim to do justice to the motives of others, al though it might have been hiamisfortune to think that, by the misdirection of their reasoning, they might have come to erroneous aoucluiione:ll6 did not intend to discuss:any of those questions which were. calculated to excite unpleasant feelings in the minds of any ; lie should merely express his opinion, that the energies of this great people could not be properly called into action, till complete free doni was given both to opinion and to industry. He proceeded to state, that he thought, if further measures of concession were adopted, those gentlemen who now apprehended such bad , conse quences from them would look back with astonishment at the feeling how excited.—(Cheers.) —He thought the apprehensions now excited were but a dark cloud of a simmer day, and when it had passed away, they would repose under the serene azure of autumn.—(Hear !)—He also expatiated on the vast importance, of the county, including as it did all the various feelings and opiy Mons of the kingdom, which rendered Its rept esantative MO, particularly the representative of the whole empire, whose duty it was to judge every measure with .reference to the interest of the kingdom at large, and not with regard to any local prejudices or peculiar feelings.—{Ws regret that our time will not allow us to give a fuller report of the Noble Lord's speech.] Mr. btiricoMix then presented himself, and was received with . . most enthusiastic cheers. Atiirsfthere appeared a disposition on the part of the Whigs not to hear but that soon subsided, and he was listened to with much attention. With regard to the completion of thie election, he bad no hesitation in saying, that if there bad been any feeling of asperity centered in the breast of any man, hewn not that indiridual,--thei be would say upon his honour, and he trusted he should'not feel at ill inclined to disturb the harmony which be was most anxious to witness, and which he rejoiced to witness that day. He was perfectly sensible that it war not for any merits of his own that be was called forth to • re present the county, but because the sentiments be professed on the Catholic question were entertained by a large portion of the county. _(Loud cheers.)—Other persons, of more mature judgment, might have been found to represent them—(No) —but he pledged himself, if elected, to exert himself to discharge his duties to the hest of his judgment. He returned the freeholders hie most sin cere thanks for the kindness and attention with which he had been received, and could only say, if he had the honour to be returned one of the representatives, it would be the pride of his life. Mr. Wlttox spoke very briefly. Mr. MARSHALL referred to his former address fors statement of his opinions. No other Candidate appearing, the Sheriff declared the choice of the County to have fallen upon the four gentlemen proposed. Lord Mitaos and Mr. Wet.soli briefly returned thanki. The return was then read by the County Clerk, and thanLe were voted to the High Sheriff. The chairing of the Candidates then commenced, and the city was in a complete bustle the whole of the day. 'fl following is a specimen of the squibs thrown about on is occasion : GREAT YORKSHIRE STAKES The public are respectfully informed, that the Yorkshire Sep. tennial Races will, according to proclamation, take place on Wednesday, June 21, 1826.

Fine sport is expected, most of the hones having been regular ly sweeted, 'particularly Dar:combs . and Wilson. • Milton is a tried good horse (pedigree unexceptionable), is no bolter, and runs stout. Marshall is a dark horse, very promising, and likely to become a great favourite before starting. Bethel!, tf►nust, a 9/ ell-bred colt, is apt to bolt when brought to the post. Wilson looks out of condition, is very sough in his coat, and his mute nogg d• Duni:omb* is not expected to run a good race, having been ill trained. MA lINIAMIKE LANGLEY, Clerk of the Course.

They were cheered by their respective friends as they appeared. • Jorttex LEsq.. stepped forward, and spoke a s f o ll ows :- " Freeholders, .- I propose Thomas Wentworth Beaumont, Esq. as ifit person to represent this county in Parliament." T. 13. B aTans , EN,. begged to seoond the nomination of T. W. Beamont, Esq. T. W. Bx.s.6tonl', Eq. then spoke as follows :—" Gentle men, standing as I do in the proud aituation of layin g b een t a w, declared, at the county meeting at Atorpeth , me o f those candi dates most prone- to represent this must important county in Parliament, .it to scarcely possible for sue to use language sufli- ciently strong to express my gratitude. Haying been selected as o ne of the persoer/ moat proper to represent you, it is necessary that I should state to you what are the pretensions on which I ground my claims to your suffrage*. The present state of the country is one of much difficulty ; there is such general corrup thin abroad, that it does indeed now require honest men to repro— Sent you. We have lately, seen the whole of England in a state of extreme eonimercial distreas ; we have had a general stagnation in the manufacturing districts of the country ; we have heard tales of woe, starvation, and horror,which would tear the heart were Ito. go into all the details of them. It is to the system that we must look for the cause--to that system which has brought ruin on theniselves and misery on thousands. The country banks were for the advantage of the country, and it was only for their own inefficiency that ministers thought fit to throw all the blame upon the bankers. Those gentlemen are not to blame. It is not against them that indignation should be raised, any more than the distresses among the manufacturing districts are owing to the manufacturers, who have not the power to employ the workmen. It is the administration , we must accuse—that administration which has involved us in difficulties, which it has not honesty enough to overcome and remove—not upright and bold enough to say to the placemen and pensioners on whom it depends, We rely upon an independent Houseof Commons—we rely upon the sense of the people, and not on placemen and pensioners.' The next queition is that relating to the alteration of the corn laws. I am favourable to a revision and alteration of those laws.- This must be the end at which we anti. Capital must be more widely dif fused, and more equally spread over the country. The enormous taxes cannot be paid without it ; this I shall l a b our to e ff ect . I have now gone through all, that I wished to say to you. I am grateful for .your kind attention. I feel that I have very inade quately expressed myself. I have stated what are my opinions, and on what my pretensions are founded. I have only to repeat, that if I ant again returned as your representative, Isbell discharge my duty with zeal, fidelity, and integrity." Mr. Beaumont con cluded amid the most enthusiastic applause. Sir CHAS. LORAINX, Baronet, proposed Matthew Bell, Esq., as a fit and proper person to represent this county in Parliament; and C. J. CLAVPLINU, Esq. seconded the nomination. .Manual Bata, Esq. then addressed the freeliolders.—He observed he stood before them in the hope that with their appro bation he might become their organ in that assembly, which is the roost free and enlightened in the universe. It was not long ago since he declared his political sentiments to them; he had had an opportunity of again declaring them still more recently at Mot-- path. He.had explained without reserve or equivocation what his principlee were, and they remained unchanged. Those principles were founded on an early and deep-rooted love of his country, and the British Constitution, which, as long as there was breath in hie body, he would endeavour to maintain, True liberty ex isted in this happy country alone. Though as much a friend to liberty of conscience as to the liberty of the subject, he thought, by admitting the claims of the Roman Catholics, they would be endangering the safety of the State.—(lliireing and hooting, with some applause.)—ln the opinion which lie had just expressed, he maintained, as he had done elsewhere, thetas the King was Pro. testant, every branch of the, Legislature should be Protestant also. He begged it might not be concluded that he was an enemy to re ligious toleration he waie . nO more hostile to the worship of the Catholic than of any other sect whatever. It was hardly neces sary for him to say that he was a warm supporter of his Majesty's Ministers; but if they forgot their duty to the people, they would find him their bitterest enemy.—(Great applause). Sir M. W. RIDLICY, Bart. then proposed Lord Howick as a proper person to represent this county. W. ORH, Esq., M. P. for Morpeth, seconded the nomination. Lord Howtcx then came forward. Mr. Beaumont had ob served that they ought only to look to the public principles of their representatives. He thotight differently. He should first state his own political sentiments, and, then remark on what Mr. Beaumont had itated. Mr. Bell and Mr. Liddell, at the late meeting at Morpeth, had hall professed their attachment to the ceostitusion of thli'eriinitry. Ile would. yield. to :neither of, them loYa of the but he must say he. could pot accord the same need of *Manse, to his Majesty', present Ministers. He differed with them on the. iibj,et of reform in Parliament, and the extent to Which the natiOnal expenditure ought ,to.be reduced. They prOfessed,' indeed, .to . desire economy, but economy was with thcM' a vague word, and what they called economy, he per :lisps might call a profuse and waitefultxpenditure. Mr. Beau mont had attempted to justify - his conduct by,declaring that in 1819 he WAS not a Tory. What was he then? Uri that under standing it was Ire received the sup p ort of this Tory gentlemen of the county.. If he was not then a Tory, he did. not,know of what party he could be called. For a eitiliNate, to ask pardon of his ; constituents for nonattendance to his duties itr,Parliament, something uneormoon. lie coiildi never hare made such excuses as he had done.' We are 'obliged reluctantly to cut short our report to sena it in time for this day's mail. T. tizniiet.t., Esq., - then proposed the How. 11. T. Liddell, and the nomination was seconded by F. Sitwell, .Lsq. The lion. H. T. LIDDELL. then came forward, anti addressed t h e assem bl e d multitude at considerable length. Hs _professed himself generally a supporter of his Majesty's Ministers, and a friend to Catholic emancipation, and the abolition of the slime trade. Mr. CLAYTON, Under Sheriff, on the part of the High Sheriff, called for a show of bawls, which was declared to be in favour of Lord Howl& and Mr: Liddell, Mr. Beaumont and Mr. Bell's friends immediately demanded a poll. The meeting was then adjourned to the polling booths till one o'clock. ittioUt half-pait four o'clock this afternoon, (Tuesday) the state of the poll was declared to be as follows Liddell - Bell - Rowick Beaumont - 74 - 70 - 86 - CAMBRIDGE: ti on W o ed f n r e i s p d :e Y ie t n h t e a t 2 i vies: inst.

It is true that the Christian world have not of late contend ed in arms with those of your faith, on points of religion ; they have not, however, fallen into a state of apathy so great as to see unheeded the perpetration of those enormities which you are daily committing on their Christian brethren ; • a senti ment with which no feeling of animosity towards you, or to wards your people, is combined, but on the contrary, a desire to render you every good service consistent with that duty, piramonnt to all others—namely, to wipe out the stain from the civilized world, of unfeelingly and inhumanly co-operating to exterminate, enslave, and transport to bondage, a whole Christian people ; a n d such a people, the • descendants of those Greeks, whose genius laid the chief foundation of literature and the arts—who reared those noble monuments and edifices, which time, and the more destructive barbarian hand, have yet failed to destroy, and which, compared with the wretched hovels of your hordes, may better point out to you the elevation they attained, and the prostrate state in which your people are—owing, alas ! to the banefid effects of bigotry and despotic sway. Surely, surely there is ample field for the exercise of your energies at home, in encouraging industry, the arts, and sciences, in promoting the civilisation of your people, and in enacting equitable laws for the security of persons and property ; on which basis the national prosperity of all coun tries must rest. But should .your ambition, not content with be stowing blessings like these on your native land, lead you to sou• almost above mortal acts, distant oceans would unite, and the ex tremities of the globe approach at your command ; thus might your name he rendered immortal, and Egypt again become the empo rium of commerce, anti one of the richest and happiest nations upon earth. How infinitely great the glory of such acts ! How despicable the fame of a tyrant conqueror,—the ruler of slaves ! It would be pleasing to support you as the author of great and good works ; but it is shameful to permit your present proceedings, and dastardly to leave the unfeeling apostate sons of neutral and Christian nations unopposed, aiding to perpetuate barbarism for horrid gain, drawn from the price of Christians torn from their homes, and sold as slaves in foreign lands. Against these atrocious men, my companions and myself east the gauntlet down, and will contend, in the hope that you and they may perceive your true interest, and your great error, and pursue a different course before it shall be too late. Quit the clas sic sacred soil of Greece. Let the flaying., and burning., and impaling. of this people cease ; and, oh ! shocking to humanity ! the ripping up of pregnant female., and the hewing in pieces of their infant babes, and other sets yet worse than these, too hor rid, to relate ! Release the Christian slaves—pursue an honoura ble and enlightened path, and we become friends to aid you in your pursuits. But should the present course be continued, let the bands of cruel assassins in your employ count on our oppo sition ; count, too, on our neutralising the effect of every vessel procured or bought from Christian States. " Hear• the word of the Lord, ye rulers," (in the prophecy now to be fulfilled). "Wo to them that go down to Egypt for help amt stay." " When the Lord shall stretch out his hand, both he that helpeth shall fall, and he that is holpen shall fall down, and 'they all shall fall together." _ _ Instead of filling brimful the cup of bitterness, of which you yourself must ultimately drink, how admirably might you employ your people and your treasure, the waste whereof is rearing to you *barbarism successor, to prolong the bondage of Egypt. The Christian prayer of those called to rescue their suffering hrithren is, that conforming yourself to the dictates of reams and humanity, you may live long to benefit mankind; and as you are more enlightened than your predecessors, so may you become more humane and just.

I Evening minutes after 5. the LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE dS, We copy from the Times of this morning a letter stated to haVe been addressed by Lord COCHRANE to the PACHA of EGYPT, at the moment his Lordship quitted the. British Channel on his voyage to Greece. His Lordship grounds his interference in the contest between the PACHA and the Greeks on the priv , ilege which the former claims and exercises, of receiving aid in various modes from Neutral States : and on the inhuman traffic which he carries - on in Christian slaves, and the cruelties which disgrace his Government. — After exhorting him to humanity, and the exercise of acts for the promotion of the civilization of his people —towards which objects his Lordship tenders his assistance—he warns him that if, on the contrary, he continues his present proceedings, "'Then," says his Lordship, " my companions and myself cast the " gauntlet down, and will contend against you. Qui t " the classic soil of Greece—cease your burnings, im " palings, and' enormities—and release your Christian " slaves."—These are the objects, then, for which Lord Coettßatee will contend : and truly the cause, which he has undertaken is a glorious one, and de serving of dui support of the whol e c i v ili ze d w orld. The energy, gallantry, and k nown address. of his Lordship, will, we predict, s p ee dily a l ter t h e state of Greek affairs. He is consum ma t e ly skilled in t h at. description of warfire which is carried on between the Greeks and their enemies ; and he pOssesses more , perhaps, than any man living the power of exciting the feelings and rousing the energies of others., The in fluence which he obtains over the minds of than % . v10) are under his authority, is a most remarkable' -feittoe in his character, and the confidence which he inspires,. lole of G reece, G b re yetc the , united with the ardo ur o f hi s own c h aracter , cannot thespirit w a p i r l e d ae w n h e i e ch o ; a requires only to be wil andl ed into a ction leader of j u dgmen t tact. We heartily wish his Lordship success in the glo rious cause he has undertaken, and that the honor of rescuing from tyranny and subjection the land from whence freedom first sprung, m a y helong to a native of that island in which it has fixed its latest but its firmest dwelling. The Paris Papers' of the 20th, and the Mile of the following morning, reached us last night, The Moniteur gives in detail the comparative tables of the Revenue of the first five montha of 1824, 182 5 , and 1826, by which it appears that the Revenue of 1826, during that period. (weeded that of the Care sponding period of 1825, by a sum of 11,283,000 francs, anti that of 1824, by 12;357,000 francs. Th e Pilate mentions, that it is generally believed, that In case of a final arrangement between Russia anti the Porte, the Russian troops on the Pruth will be sent to co-operate with the army of General YERMALoFF , in subduing the savage tribes which inhabit the southern parts of the Empire ; and it is also stated ►o a short article from Russia, that when the Empet°' NICHOLAS announced to the garrison of St. Pelee` burgh that his Ultimatum had been accepted by the Porte, instead of. satisfaction being evinced, th e officers and soldiers maintained the most expressive silence.
